just got called by a lovely elder(ly) woman trying to get a conversation started about the state of affairs in the world and if it is ever going to get better (this introduction is so old, this came straight from the old 1980's brown book of conversation starters).
at first i asked whether she was a telemarketer, no, she is a "bible student".
i hadn't heard that in a while, so i asked her what denomination, she kind of struggled and quietly said i'm one of jehovah's witnesses - the embarrassment was palpable.. so i said, oh, i'm one of jehovah's witnesses too!
I think that if Jehovah is a loving God, and there is some form of judgement day, don't you think he would look at me and judge me according to the good and bad I have done in my life, not just whether I belonged to an organization."
Truth right here!!!!!
i can't believe william shatner is 90 years old but doesn't look like other 90 year olds that i've met.
is it genetic?
is it lifestyle.
Clean living.....lol
these cartoons have been labeled by the venerable new york times newspaper as offensive.
they offend mexicans and pepe is a womanizing french skunk too handsy enabling the “rape culture “.
this stuff is getting so ridiculous it isn’t funny.
Both sides of the ‘debate’ are trivial divisive nonsense.
Jeffro. Yes, I agree with you 100% on that statement.
Unfortunatly, too many people, both on the left and right, pay FAR too much attention to trivial divisive nonsense.

NY Times artilce was written by Columnist Charles M. Blow.
His name fits him.
what a total bunch of asswipes the left has become.
now they have gotten the publishers to stop printing dr. seuss.
dr seuss.
whatever, sounds like a nothingburger to me
Censorship and being told what's acceptable to read and what's NOT acceptable to read is a big nothingburger?
Wow, Glad it's only 6 books I'm now not allowed to have. I wonder if that number will grow?
during a recent conversation i had with someone, a question came up that i really don't know the answer to.
did jw's still drink during prohibition in the us during the 1920's until it's repeal in 1933?
was alcoholic beverages considered forbidden and possibly subject to disfellowshipping?.
Booze and JWS go hand in hand, its the fun sin they can participate in
Absolutely correct Rocketman. As long as it's in "moderation".

Thank you for the research. Very informative.
So, with that reasoning, I wonder if they will take the same stance if cannabis ever gets legalized on a federal level in the US. I would imagine them taking a stand against smoking it, but I wonder if they will forbid ingesting legal cannabis for recreational use.

Yes, I know of the stories about Judge Rutherford and the rest of them at that time boozing it up. But what about the average JW or Bible Student during that time? Were they required to abstain from alcohol? I guess it was OK after prohibition was repealed because a lot of JW's love their drinks.

am mulling over how to reply.
any suggestions?.
Pick your battles. This is one you should stay away from.
if you don’t support certain ideas or beliefs, you may find yourself on the losing end in business, money matters, and community.
curt schilling, a former red sox player who is conservative today reported how his insurance company suddenly dropped him even though he was an excellent consumer with them because of his “ views”.
he was marked by those in charge and evidently was told by the rep he knew that they didn’t like his political views.
I think the media will also attack their own. As long as Trump is not there they must sell media.
Also, the late night hacks that many treat their shows like it's news will have to sell as well.
Hacks like Bill Maher, Samantha Bee, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel, Trevor Noah, and Stephen Colbert will finally have to come up with some new material that might actually be funny for a change.
